wet, dark and rainy sunday. but i don't mind, at least it's cooling. although the dark skies are a little creepy because it reminds me of the USA, and i can get a bit paranoid about it cause of the recent hurricane katrina paying new orleans a visit. man, the news i read on the papers everyday are just terrifying.

okay, on to lighter topics, guess what? dad gave me the green light to take up electric guitar classes after the end of years are over. DFHYDFDFHDRDTH. YUSS! x)

you see, when i was younger i took up piano, but decided to quit because i couldn't manage the theory and i was just too lazy to bother to put in any effort into practicing. on top of that, i kinda hated the teacher, so i decided to quit. but now, it's different. i've finally realised how important music is in my life, it's my source of strength, and also the only thing that can make me break down sometimes. you see, music is so wonderful, it's the world's most beautiful language. i can't imagine living in a life without music. This time I'm serious.

after stopping piano for about two years, i started picking up guitar on my own. it's really cool but without proper classes and being the lazy ass i am, it's hard to keep it up and it slowly started to fade away. sure, i know how to strum and pluck in a few different styles, but my memory is so bad that i can only manage a few chords. but i think with a little time and effort on my part, i'll master the guitar someday.

now badminton is clearly out of my life, i've decided that this is my life and i wanna do the things that i want to do and make the best out of it so, I'M TURNING BACK TO MUSIC (:

and when i go to tjc, i plan to join the guitar club (: if they decide to let me in with just the very basic foundation in music that i have hehe. it'll be good if i can get in, then maybe they'll teach me more methods and other way to play the guitar, then i won't be on my own (: but if not, maybe i might take up modern dancing, (although i can't say i'm good at it) but i want to have a new experience, I want to give a shot at it (:

so after my exams are done, I'll do enquire about classes on electric guitars, and hopefully i can get a good teacher (: daddy should be prepared to spend a big bomb, considering the new guitar and the amplifier and all. it's gonna be a hefty price hoho :D but one thing, i can't really decide whether i should take up the bass or the elects/guitar/whatever it's called.

i think being a bassist is cool, although not much to do but just some simple plucking and i know if put in a band i wouldn't be in the limelight much, but i think a bassist is very important. it gives the music the stable and solid feel to it, and hardens things up instead of all high and screeching notes. the music would be too light and floaty without a bass, therefore i think it's important. I also think that a bassist is cool, because you just stand there looking cool plucking the strongs and all, doesn't take too much energy or brains. (you see im just lazy, don't wanna use much of my brains even if i play hoho)

but i was at the YAMAHA store, and this guy whom i guess was working part time there took up the electric guitar and started to demonstrate the different ways you can use the guitar to play. he started with some screeching notes, then into some rock, and ended off with some jazz. OMFG SO COOL IF MY PARENTS WEREN'T THERE I WOULD HAVE SPAZZED OUT LIKE SOME DUMBNUT. x) besides, my dad started telling me that being a guitarist would be much better than a bassist because you can do more with it, plus you get to be in the limelight (hoho you see my dad is the opposite of me) it made sense, besides, you can do more music and melody with the elects/guitar/whatever you call it (: but i'll see about it, i can't wait for end of years to be over so i can start! I'm going to work hard, and i hope i won't give up halfway just like what i did to the piano (:

oh, i also want a new accoustic guitar, since i already got a classical one at home, but it costs like $500 bucks for the one i want. DADDYYYYY!!!~ x) $$$ (that's if i made it into TA's guitar club)

and I've also decided, just roughly, that when i grow older, like maybe when I'm done with my A levels, I'll take up drums, because I've always wanted to ever since i was twelve, because mom said no it spoils my ears blah blah and she doesn't have that much money to afford it plus she doesn't want me to give up halfway (knowing that I'm that sort of person hehe) so she said i could wait till I'm older. then she'll shut up when i buy myself a set of drums x) i hope i'll still have this drive 4 years down the road.

yay, my new drive in life would be music. I went one whole round wasting a few years before coming back to the same place where i started x) how very stupid. but I'm wiser and stronger now, I'll make the very best out of it.

OCTOBER PLEASE COME QUICKLY; BASS/ELECTS/GUITAR COME TO MAMA W00T! x)

oh great, i'm itching again, must be my allergy acting up x_x;;
